is it possible to add a right hand mirror to my 1966 bug?

Yes but you need to make sure your car has the right hinge pin to mount the mirror it'll have a threaded top if its the right one, if not you'll need to change the hinge pin, VW Heritage sell em, they are a right pain to get out tho!

You are LHD, right?

Before you go to the trouble of removing and swapping your hinge pin work out what mirror you are going to use. If you use the regular 'Pear' shaped mirror chances are you won't see a thing out of it. We offer both Pear shape and round mirrors on an extended arm to get around this problem. Call me if you want?

Hi,
I hope this information helps you decide what to do. I'd really weigh how badly you want a right side mirror. While the cost in money isn't high, the cost in aggravation and possible finish damage is.

I suspect that you are not in the USA but here is some information on parts, both the mirror and the pin ....

As far as hinge pin removal, realize some paint damage is going to occur no matter how careful you are, it just seems to be the nature of the project.

Here is a forum on hinge removal with photos of the proper tool as well as suggestions by others about how to do it.

Good luck, let us know what you did and how it turned out.
